I hear that. Maybe I should have said I was surprised at the smoothness it has without an external balancer. Been on many late model singles with extra balance units that were not any smoother than my bullet. Of course these were over square modern singles that ran at high rpms. I think the undersquare re engines with their low end power is a big help vibration wise, to a point. I can still overdo it and cause blurred vision.

My bike is actually pretty smooth and while you can see a little vibration when it is idling on center stand, back wheel is off the ground by the way, it certainly is not enough to vibrate it very far. I have to admit that after all I had heard about vibration, I was a little disappointed there WASN'T a little more vibe!
